ABEMA will exclusively livestream a free special program, "ABEMA 'I Became a Legend After My 10 Year-Long Last Stand' — #ここ俺アニメ: Leave the First-Half Recap to Us and Go Ahead," on Wednesday, August 19, 2026, starting at 8:00 PM.
I Became a Legend After My 10 Year-Long Last Stand is an isekai fantasy series based on the hugely popular light novel by えぞぎんぎつね. The story begins when Luck, the S-rank mage of the hero's party, stays behind alone to let his companions escape, shouting "Leave this to me and go ahead!" before defeating the Demon King in a brutal battle. After fighting on and on in the space between dimensions, he returns to his original world to find that ten years have passed — and he has become a legend as the "great hero" who saved the world at the cost of himself. Having grown younger from the toll of battle, Luck hides his true identity and starts a refreshing second life as the F-rank adventurer "Rock," alongside new companions and his former allies. The TV anime adaptation of the series began broadcasting in July 2026.
The special program airing on ABEMA features main cast members 梶原岳人 (Luck / Rock Franzen), 相良茉優 (Shia Ulcott), M・A・O (Luchila), 小坂井祐莉絵 (Milka), and 小山剛志 (Golan Morton). They'll look back at episodes 1 through 7 of the TV anime, introducing the characters and sharing the cast's favorite scenes, before digging into what's in store from episode 7 onward.
ABEMA has also confirmed a free marathon broadcast of episodes 1 through 7 on the ABEMA Anime Channel, starting at 4:30 PM on August 19 (Wednesday), just ahead of the special program, to mark the occasion.
The special program, featuring its main cast, can only be watched on ABEMA. Tune in to hear the cast's discussion.

Story
S-rank mage Luck, of the hero's party, fought fiercely alongside the hero Eric and the warrior Golan against the Demon King in the space between dimensions. To keep his companions from being wiped out, Luck resolved to face the enemy alone and cried out: "Leave this to me and go ahead!" After an unimaginably lonely battle, he finally defeated even the Demon King. But by the time he returned to his original world, ten years had passed, and Luck had become a legend as the great hero who saved the world at the cost of himself.
Having grown younger in appearance from the effects of the battle, Luck hides his true identity and lives on as the F-rank adventurer Rock, alongside his former companions and new friends.
